A WASHINGTON dispatch claims that
Gen. Fairchild, Commander of the G..
A. R., purposes to make it uncomforta-
bly, warm for President Cleveland if he
goes to st. Louis during the Grand Army
celebration in September. The state
ment will have to be verified by others
than Washington correspondents before
the people will take any stock in It..
Gen. Fairchild is very patient and
considerate man, and however much he
may dislike the President for his many
deeds of omission and commission, he is
not the man to present an insult to the
Commander-in-Chief Of the Army and
Navy. 1t is at the same time confessed
that Union soldiers have little reason to
be proud Of the President who would
issue an order for the return of the flags
they split 30 much loyal blood to win.

..TuK Hotel Renortero I h. to.dax,s Pr

"THE Hotel Reporter" in to-day's Pho
neer- Press says that John C. Wise, of
Mankato, was visitor at the Merchants,
and adds that in the ''list of prominent
Democrats in the State who have not
yet q lucrative Office, Mr. Wise. will
probably be one of the first to capture
an honor" To those who know Wise,
and are familiar with the facts which
made his appointment by the President
- postmaster in this city 30 obnoxious
to the U. s. Senate as to lead that august
body to reject his nomination unani-
mously, such an assertion as the afore-
said "Hotel Reporter" presumes to
make is ludicrous in the extreme. Wise
could not be appointed or elected as a
member OF rural school board. He is
played out" most completely. The
PIP had better give its reporter point
or on these knocked OUT politicians of
the collar kind. Wise has kissed Kelly
and Dorsn's feet, only to be kicked by
the rest of the Democrats, scorned by
Republicans, and held in contempt by
the public generally. He has retired
from politics. When a man has not one
Angle party follower in the Senate to
sustain him, he may be put down as a
pretty dead duck.

IR. LOWETH INTERVIEWED or
THE SEWER QUESTION.

Mr.. C. F. Loweth, of st. Paul, the gen.
tleman who drew the plans for the sys-
tenn of sewerage for Mankato, was in the
city this forenoon, and was seen by a
FREE PRESS reporter, to whom he stated
that he had conversed with several of
our citizens on the sewer question, and
that the objection to his plans seemed to
be the result of a misunderstanding on
their part of what was proposed to be
done by his plans. He felt surprised
that he had never been asked to explain
his plans to the council. He stated that
he could alter the plans somewhat to
meet some of the objections. He said
that it would not do to have an outlet to
the river above the city, as the Mime
sofa river is 80 low and sluggish that
sickness would result. He stated that
if the outlet was placed few blocks
further up than Washington street it
would not be necessary to 60 so deep.
He thought that the cost of going through
the quick sand would not be very great
if experienced men were employed to
lay the sewer. He desired to be heard
on the subject before the people voted
on the matter, as he wanted them to
thoroughly understand his system. He
was anxious that the city adopt his plans
because he thought they were the best
for the city, not that he had any person
al interest m the matter more than the
reputation it would give him to have the
plans adopted.
He drew the plans for the system of
sewerage which Sioux City has just COM
pleted at an expense of 100000. The
SYSTEM gives entire satisfaction, as is
shown by the annual report of the May
or of that city.
Mr.. Loweth stated that he was willing
to come here at any time at his own ex-
pense and explain his plans to the coun-
Gil.

THE promised meeting of the st. Cloud,
Mankato & Northwestern Railroad Co.,
was held in st. Paul yesterday. Nothing
of great importance was done, but it was
intimated that the c. NJ. & st. p. and
the Manitoba roads were willing to take
the land grant and construct the road.
If this be true, it is quite important that
President Hill, of the Manitoba road, be
interviewed, as the extension of his sys-
tenn to this city would give us direct
communication with Duluth, the very
thing We want.

The only inference to be taken from
the Presidents order to return to "the
Confederate States the flags captured by
the Union forces, is that Mr.. Cleveland
recognizes the existence of those States
to-day. 1t must be that Grover thinks
he is the successor of JEFF Davis. He
ought to hunt up the constitution of the
Confederate States and see what it says
about returning flags.
